    Marcus Rashford has returned to Manchester United after Barcelona decided not to activate their €30m purchase option. The England forward publicly thanked the Spanish champions after contributing 14 goals and 14 assists during his season-long loan.

    Barcelona’s additions of Anthony Gordon and Karim Adeyemi have reduced the prospect of another deal. Rashford is expected at United training in August, although reintegration under Michael Carrick remains uncertain and the club could seek about €40m.

    Arsenal are increasingly confident of signing Newcastle captain Bruno Guimaraes following Eddie Howe’s expected departure. No fee has been agreed, but sources expect a transfer worth more than £70m as the Premier League champions strengthen their midfield.

    Newcastle initially intended to keep the Brazil international but are now said to recognise his desire to leave. Howe’s exit follows the sales of Anthony Gordon and Sandro Tonali, increasing Arsenal’s belief that negotiations can produce an agreement.

    FC Twente were eliminated from Europa League qualifying after drawing 2-2 with Ferencvaros and losing the tie 4-3 on aggregate. The Dutch side scored twice late but failed to overturn the damage from the opening leg.

    Ferencvaros played with ten men after a first-half red card, yet Twente struggled to create chances until Wout Weghorst and Lucas Vennegoor of Hesselink scored. The late recovery was insufficient, ending Twente’s Europa League campaign before the third qualifying round.

    Three defendants face additional allegations involving a minor, child-abuse material and privacy violations, while Asencio faces a separate privacy charge. The judge upheld evidence recovered from phones and rejected defence arguments seeking to invalidate the investigation.

    Roma have submitted a bid worth at least €25m for Feyenoord right-back Givairo Read and opened negotiations with the Dutch club. The 20-year-old has already agreed personal terms on a five-year contract with the Serie A side.

    A Roma delegation plans to travel to Rotterdam to accelerate the deal, while Nottingham Forest continue monitoring after three rejected offers. Feyenoord’s willingness to negotiate puts Roma in front, but no final club agreement has been completed.

    UEFA’s 55 member associations unanimously agreed to boycott every FIFA competition if plans to sell minority stakes in major tournaments proceed. Concacaf’s 41 associations separately rejected the proposal and raised concerns over governance, transparency and FIFA leadership.

    The boycott covers men’s and women’s World Cups and the Club World Cup until FIFA abandons the plan and gives binding assurances. With both European and North American associations opposed, the proposal now faces a major political and voting obstacle.

    Newcastle are expected to trigger Jaissle’s release clause after informing Al-Ahli of their decision. Howe would depart after ending the club’s 70-year major trophy drought, following several high-profile player exits during a difficult summer rebuild.
